GOLD STANDARD LEAMING — The Feeder's Corn 



BRED FROM THE ORIGINAL 

 J. S. LEAMING CORN 



We have increased the size of eara 

 and percentage of grain by breeding 

 from tapering to cylindrical shape. We 

 have also increased depth and roughnesa 

 of kernel and feeding value by increase 

 of protein and fat. The ears range from 

 9 to 11 inches long, 7 J to 8 inches in 

 circumference, weighing 12 to 17 ounces. 

 The stalks range from 9 to 12 feet in 

 height, are well developed below the ear 

 and slender above. They are very valu- 

 able for ensilage, and thrive well on all 

 soils where^ many other varieties fail. 

 It is an immense yielder, producing, 

 under favorable conditions, 100 bushels 

 or more to the acre. By mail, postpaid,

Improved GOLDEN B EAUTY 



HAS THE LARGEST GRAIN AND SMALLEST COB OF ANY CORN IN CULTIVATION 1 



The productiveness of the Golden Beauty Com is due to the economical shape of the ears and the fact that a large proportion of the stallca 

 produce fine ears. It is the largest-grained and handsomest golden yellow Corn we have ever seen. The ears are of perfect shape, with 10 to 14 

 straight rows. Cobs are unusually small ; when broken in half the grains will reach across them. The richness of color, and iine quality of grain 

 make it superior for grinding Into meal. We can guarantee this Corn to give good satisfaction wherever grown. Lb. 25 cts., 3 lbs. 60 cts., post- 

 paid ; by freight or express, pk. 50 cts., bus. $1.50, 2 busa sack, $2.85.
